SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:8

¿Digo esto solamente segn los hombres? ¿No dice esto tambin la ley?

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 9:8

Verse 8. Say I these things as a man?] Is this only human reasoning? or does not
God say in effect the same things? See note on Rom. vi. 19.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 8. Say I these things as a man ? etc.] After the manner of men, reasoning from things common among men, and obvious to everyones observation: or saith not the law the same also ? As the subject the
apostle is upon was capable of being illustrated and confirmed by instances common unto, and easy of observation among men; so it might be supported by divine authority; it was not only a clear point from the reason of things, but was certain by the law of God.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-14 - It is not new for a
minister to meet with unkind returns for good-wil to a people, and diligent and successful services among them. To the cavils of some, the apostle answers, so as to set forth himself as a example of self-denial, for the good of others. He had a right to marr as well as other apostles, and to claim what was needful for his wife and his children if he had any, from the churches, without labourin with his own hands to get it. Those who seek to do our souls good should have food provided for them. But he renounced his right, rathe than hinder his success by claiming it. It is the people's duty to maintain their minister. He may wave his right, as Paul did; but thos transgress a precept of Christ, who deny or withhold due support.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

8. As a man (kata anqrwpon). Rev., after the manner of men. See on
Rom. iii. 5. The formula occurs six times in Paul's epistles. The question introduces another kind of evidence - that from Scripture. I will not confine myself to illustrations from human affairs. I will appeal to Scripture.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

9:8 {Do I speak these things after the manner of men?} (me kata anqrwpon tauta lalw;). Negative answer expected.
Paul uses kata anqrwpon six times (#1Co 3:3; 9:8; 15:32; Gal 1:11; 3:15; Ro 3:5). The illustrations from human life are pertinent, but he has some of a higher order, from Scripture. {The law also} (kai ho nomos). Perhaps objection was made that the Scripture does not support the practice of paying preachers. That objection is still made by the stingy.
